The Hours

There is no menu of services here, because that is not what this is. What you choose is time, and time is what decides whether an evening merely happens, or becomes somewhere you actually were.

An evening is measured in hours.
A good one is not.

The shape changes with time

What each hour buys is pace

3h

A first atmosphere: a drink, dinner, the first sense of rhythm. Enough time to begin without rushing the beginning.

4h

More room to settle. The conversation gets a second act; nobody is checking the time between courses.

6h

The clock moves to the background. Dinner becomes an evening; the evening becomes its own world.

12h

Overnight changes the pace entirely: rest, slowness, and morning as part of the same story.

24h+

A full day or travel: the city, the hotel and the table all become part of the experience.

The overnight world has its own page: Until Morning. And for evenings beyond Amsterdam, see The Netherlands.

A note on the numbers

The rate reserves the hours. What fills them is attention, and that part is never itemised.

The rates are fixed, complete and free of surprises. The number you see is the number, which is exactly why neither of us will think about it again once the evening starts.

How a date is held

Clarity is part of discretion.

Every meeting is arranged in advance, and I usually ask 24 to 48 hours of notice. Three hours is my minimum; dinner dates and longer engagements are what I enjoy most, so they get priority in my diary. Same-day meetings happen on rare occasions and ask for ease and efficiency from both sides. If you write for the same day, include every practical detail, say that you are ready to complete screening straight away, and know that a same-day fee may apply.

New introductions are screened discreetly, and only once. A date is confirmed when screening is complete and the deposit has been received. Until then, the hours are not held.

The deposit runs between 30 and 50 percent, depending on location, duration and travel; multi-day invitations ask half, and fly-me-to-you or travel bookings are settled in full beforehand. Deposits are non-refundable. Cancel with reasonable notice and yours can move once to a new date, chosen at the moment of cancellation. Within 48 hours of our meeting the full fee is due. And in the unlikely event that I am the one who cancels, your deposit comes back to you in full.

None of this is bureaucracy. It is what allows both of us to walk into the evening without a single practical thought left in it. Dinner, travel expenses, accommodation and any agreed shared experiences are arranged separately. From three hours upward, small bites and drinks during our time together are included in how I host: nobody flirts well on an empty stomach.

Evenings begin between 11:00 and 21:00. Nine in the evening is the last start I take, so every invitation gets the hours it deserves.

Questions about any of it are welcome; the etiquette page answers most, plainly.

Choose the pace, not just the date

Give the evening enough hours to become its own.

When you write, include your preferred date, duration, city and the kind of evening you have in mind.

Six hours feels shorter than you think.
